But while Mansion expressed no regret over the Ferrer incident, the club's reps (in a statement emailed to Crossfade last night) are offering "sincere apologies" for the Shadow episode, promising to always "respect innovators such as DJ Shadow" in the future.

Mansion on DJ Shadow: The Official Statement

We offer our most sincere apologies to DJ Shadow and his fans for his set being cut short at Mansion this past weekend. This error should not have happened and will not happen again, especially as we pride ourselves on creating an environment that cultivates and respects innovators such as DJ Shadow. We have learned a lot from this error and made changes within our organization to ensure that Mansion's vision, and the vision of our guests, will never be compromised again.

For Mansion's sake, let's hope another "innovator" never gets yanked out of the DJ booth again.
